Crediton - The Sandal Scandal Treasure Hunt Trail

It's time for a Devon based quest now, adventurers! This self-guided treasure hunt Trail will see you tackle an intriguing adventure around the market town of Crediton. You'll need to bring your 'A' game as you traverse the town centre, seek out hidden clues around the grounds of the amazing Holy Cross church and bravely perusing the open green park eliminating false leads from your map as you go.

The discovery of a pair of glittering golden sandals have proven to be both a blessing and a curse for sibling labourers Billy and Bobbi. While their mutual discovery could prove historically and financially beneficial for the pair, they've fallen out about the best way to handle the treasure, resulting in Bobbi absconding with them to an unknown location that YOU now need to discover!

Middleton in Teesdale, Durham Spy Mission Treasure Trail

Welcome to Middleton in Teesdale, Agents! Your latest self-guided spy mission Trail, [if you choose to accept it], will see you hunting out sneaky clues around this historic market town. Your best camouflage skills will be required as you need to melt into your surroundings along a route that follows pavements, country lanes, riverside pathways and open green spaces.

Can you hear that? It's the sound of drumming that gets louder as you approach Middleton. That's down to a beligerent ex-miner who moved to the area to find employment. As all the pits had closed, he was forced to join a heavy metal band just to make ends meet! His incessant, constant banging is causing major issues for everyone in the town and the Council's decibelometer is being overridden by the naughty drummer's meter jamming device! Top agents (YOU!) need to move in sharpish to discover the code to deactivate the device and silence the cacophonous timpani symphony in Middleton!
